AUBURN, Ala. - The Auburn athletic department released documents pertaining to its secondary NCAA violations during the 2012-13 fiscal year (July 2012-June 2013). The 16 violations were reported in 18 pages of heavily redacted documents, making it impossible to discern in which sports any of the violations took place.

The violations ranged from impermissible calls to recruits by assistant coaches to improper use of Twitter by a student manager to promote a recruit's official visit to campus. Though it is impossible to identify which sports incurred any violations, it appears football may have been involved in at least one.

A letter from Jay Jacobs, though his name is redacted, to SEC Commissioner Mike Slive dated Sept. 20, 2012, details a violation pertaining to recruiting. The letter details a June 2012 meeting between a former Auburn athlete or staff member, the sport is unclear, and two prospective student-athletes.

The unspecified coach was removed from off-campus recruiting from Sept. 20 through Dec. 19, 2012 and barred from making recruiting phone calls from Oct. 23 through Nov. 23. Former football assistants Curtis Luper and Trooper Taylor were investigated by the NCAA and taken off the road from recruiting last season.

A second letter from Jacobs to Slive dated Sept. 21, 2012, details a violation during an unofficial visit of a recruit on Aug. 4, 2012. During the recruit's unofficial visit, the head coach of an unspecified sport showed a PowerPoint presentation which was not approved by the compliance department and featured a photo of the recruit, which is a violation.

The recruit took a picture of the presentation, which was put together by a non-coaching staff member, and posted it on their Twitter account. A "letter of admonishment" was sent to unnamed persons and they could not provide recruiting materials for 60 days. Additionally, the unnamed persons were in-person contact with the recruit for 30 days, and phone calls for 60 days.

There was a violation involving an athlete who "competes in an event not offered by Auburn," according to one page of the report, which was released just hours before Saturday's football game between No. 9 Auburn and Georgia, which the Tigers won 43-38 on a miraculous 73-yard touchdown pass from Nick Marshall to Ricardo Louis with 25 seconds left.

There were multiple violations for impermissible calls to prospective student-athletes, some of whom did not end up coming to Auburn. One such circumstance was definitely not football-related as it involved a prospect who signed in Nov. 2012, a period not which does not include football.

On Aug. 3, 2012, three practice players for an unknown sport received $701 for room and board expenses and they cashed their checks. It's unclear if they repaid the university, though the report says "no indication of such reinstatement is necessary" for NCAA competition.

On Aug. 30, 2012, a member of the media relations staff returned a call to an unknown phone number because they were expecting DirecTV or Goodwill to stop at their home. They inadvertently called the father of a high school sophomore, who initially called the Auburn staff member. The call lasted two minutes and the violation was self-reported.

On Oct. 6, 2012, a miscommunication between two athletes hosting a recruit led to them both receiving a $6 recruiting meal when only one should have received the free meal. The second player in the unknown sport made a $10 donation to the American Red Cross as a means of restitution and was reinstated.

On Jan. 18, 2013, during a visit at a prospect's high school, an assistant coach had unplanned contact with the prospect, a junior, before practice. The violation was not self-reported because the assistant coach believed it was not a violation. The violation was reported through EthicsPoint.com. The assistant was barred from off-campus recruiting for 30 days beginning March 11, 2013 and in-person contact with this recruit is not allowed until 30 days after first permissible.
